A Tale of Trickery

Beschreibung

The Oracle of Delphi has foretold the fate of the Spartan army, but what did she really mean? This historical fiction tells the tale of betrayal in high places and a secret, forbidden romance. Whose voice will prevail? Which army will win the day? And what can a young lady learn from her little sister? #535 in the Bilingual Legends series. This book is in both English and Tsakonian. Additional Credits Translation Editor: Maxim Kisilier Maxim Kisilier is associate professor of Saint Petersburg University and senior fellow at the Institute for Linguistic Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His main research interests are the history of Modern Greek, Modern Greek dialects, Balkan studies and linguistic anthropology. In January 2010, he spent several days in Tsakonia (Eastern Peloponnese, Greece) and was so deeply impressed by the region and its people that he decided to focus his activities on Tsakonian speech and culture. In 2012, he produced the film "The Tsikaliotis Tower" (www.tsakonianarchives.gr/video-pyrgos-tsikaliotis/, directed by Daria Agafonova) about the unique stone fortress-house in Leonidio (the capital of Tsakonia), which belonged to the local merchant Konstantinos Tsikaliotis. In 2016, Maxim Kisilier was awarded the Badge of Honour from the Tsakonian Archive for his contributions to the preservation and description of Tsakonian. Maxim Kisilier participates in various projects aimed at the revitalization of Tsakonian. He teaches it through the Free Tsakonian Summer School organized annually by the Tsakonian Archive and gives free online Tsakonian lessons every week.

Autor

Hi, I'm Jessy. I publish books in languages I don't speak so children can read books in languages they do speak. Legends have always fascinated me. Do they give your children a sense of wonder too? As an Australian poet, it's hard to find work in the Outback. But there are children all over the world struggling to learn how to read. Some of them have hardly any books in their native language. That's why I created the Bilingual Legends series - to give as many children as possible the opportunity to read a story in their own native language. Usually, each book in the series is published in the language spoken in the land where that story originates. A typical book also includes the text in English, but in some cases Spanish, Portuguese, German, or another language is used instead. I hope you enjoy reading my books!
